Course content
The course treats basic mathematical concepts and methods of analysis and supports the appropriation of mathematical representations in other parts of the study programme.
The following themes will be treated:
- Elementary algebra (including solving equations and systems of equations)
- Functions of one variable (including polynomial functions, rational functions, exponential functions, logarithmic functions and compound functions)
- Differentiation and application of differentiation. Problems related to maximum and minimum
- Implicit differentiation and elasticities
- Sequences, series and sums (including arithmetical series, geometric series, infinite series and convergence)
- Finance mathematics (including savings, present value, loan, annuities)
- Integration (only for simple polynomial- and natural exponential functions)
- Functions of several variables (including Cobb-Douglas functions)
- Partial differentiation. Problems related to maximum and minimum for functions of several variables
- Lagranges method

Learning methods and activities
Lectures and exercises. Assignments must be passed to gain entry to the exam. Lectures are streamed from Gjøvik, and will also be available in the learning platform in the future. Guidance takes place both through the use of real-time technology (Collaborate) and through the use of Forums in the learning platform.
Compulsory assignments
- Oblig
Further on evaluation
Supporting material allowed on exams:
- A collection of mathematical formulas is attached to the exam
- Approved calculator in accordance with NTNU's support material code B-D "specific basic calculator".
- Other calculators that are allowed in the course are: Casio FC-100V and Texas Instruments - BAII Plus.
Work requirements must be approved in order to gain admission to the exam. Form and extent of the work requirements is specified at the start of the term. Approved assignments from earlier years are valid until substantial changes are done with respect to course content.
Re-sit exam is held in August. Admissions deadline in July. Access to re-sit exam requires legitimate absence or non-passing grade for the Autumn exam.
